  1. Still trying to understand why Kristen Welker didn't push back when JD Vance said Biden did nothing to help Ukraine or help end the war, and Trump is doing both. That's demonstrably false, and yet, it was one of the many times she let his revisionist history pass without challenging him at all. 🤦‍♀️

  2. I've been teaching for 4 decades & I might be one of the few who doesn't see the benefit of using AI. All it does is encourage students to get the answer and have the AI write it up, rather than doing any research or any critical thinking. Call me a Luddite, but I don't see how this is a good thing.

  3. Almost didn't escape the Dreaded Wordle Trap, which I truly hate with a passion. Missing one letter, but there were 7 possible words. I almost had a 2, and ended up with a 6. A win is a win, but it's still irritating. And how did you do? Wordle #1,527 6/6

  4. Given how bad my letters were tonight, I'm amazed I solved the Wordle at all. I finally did get there, but it took me 5. Oh well, a win is a win. And how did you do? Wordle #1,526 5/6

  5. Was anyone surprised that the portion of the "interview" with Ghislaine Maxwell that was released today is the part where she talks about how much she admires Donald Trump for his many achievements, and what a nice person he is? 🤦‍♀️
